Losing the last seven matches of the season was difficult for Old Dominion University volleyball coach Fred Chao and his players to accept. You never want to lose, even when realistically, your opponents have more talent and more experience.
Yet in spite of that frustrating finish, this was a terrific season for ODU's first volleyball team ever.
The team got off to a remarkable start, winning seven of its first eleven matches, including victories against established volleyball programs such as Florida International, a memorable comeback against Middle Tennessee, a 3-2 victory over UNC Wilmington and a two-match sweep of Florida Atlantic.
